Missing Note, not deleted, not in Recently Deleted folder - where can it be?

I have a locked note I work with multiple times throughout the month and yesterday it was mysteriously gone. It’s not in Recently Deleted folder… I’ve had other notes I’ve deleted in the past that I can still see in the Deleted folder but not this one - it’s a critical note I need for work. Any ideas where else to search?

Where were the Notes? See the pic below. You will get your answer

The recently deleted folder will exist only if you deleted Notes from iCloud or from the "On My Phone" Folder. Deletion from other Folders does not use Recently Deleted Sub-Folder.
